hi ya
the hospital wont normally induce till you r over yr due date but there are ways you can bring labour on i.e sex,hot curry,codliver oil,a nice hot bath, a good long walk and as for them storys please dont lissen to then yes they can and do happen but it is not going to happen to you so stop thining it will nd enjoy the last of your pregnacy and enjoy your bubs when he or she is here take care ( i forgot to say they will induce if there is a problem with baby but that normally happens at about 36-37 weeks )

I had a sweep at 1 week overdue on the wednesday, which did nothing, then was put into hospital to be induced the following tuesday at 12 days over, had prostin tablets once a dayin hospital, they finally boke my waters early hours of friday.

I know how you feel, its so frustraiting, but just to prepare you that if you get booked into hospital to be induced, it isnt a quick thing, I thought id be booked in, then have the baby the same day, its a long prossess of trying different things, before they resort to breaking your waters and giving you a drip in you need one. The didnt break mine til 3 days after I went to hospital.

im sorry to here your nan is not goig to b around to see your baby i dont know wat eles to say enjoy the last few days with yr nan im so sorry of your bad news

You won't be induced until you are over your due date, i'm due tomorrow, and as you can tell by my ticker, my little one has decided not to make and appereance yet. When I went the hospital thursday for my scan to check if baby was breech (which she wasn't), they told me to go back on the 25th Jan to be induced if little one hasn't arrived by then. So that would make me 10 days overdue. Everyone gets down in the last few weeks or days, it's natural hun as your hormones are flying everywhere, but just make the most of the time you have got to rest hun.

I was induced at 38/39 wks but had twins. In the end had emergency c-section, no problems though. Don't worry too much.

Im sorry I completely disagree with induction unless there is a strong medical case for it, The docs have tried to get me to be induced twice and I have refused as a baby will be born when its ready to be.

There is medical proof that you are more likly to need a section or that your baby may need medical care when born after being induced

Let nature take its course it is a wonderfull thing!

Gill I`m really sorry to hear about your nan. You`ve got enough to worry about at the moment.
As the girls have said, they won`t induce you until you`re overdue, at least a week (depending on where you live)
Take care of yourself, and please try not to worry, your baby will be born soon and will be healthy and perfect I`m sure (we all worry a little, thats why you`re going to be a great mummy!! )
lots of hugs to you honey love Lucy xx
